HEADING:

Make a headline that says something about your book or reading experience. A headline should make others want to read the review and buy essay online cheap.

BOOKS:

Briefly about genre: Is it a fantasy book, crime, horror, drama, humour…?

SHORT table of contents. No more than three to four sentences. Name the most important thing. For example, grades or events. Do not reveal the end!

If the book is part of a series then it should be mentioned.

(It is common to mention title, author and publisher. But on uprisen.no it has already been mentioned.)

THE EXPERIENCE OF THE BOOK:

How does the book start? Captivating, immersive or slow? Does it start right into action or descriptive?

How is the voltage curve and high point / turning point, are there any surprises or is the action predictable?

How does the book end? Sudden, unexpected, expected, surprising?

Was the book difficult to put down?

Is it inner or outer tension, easy to recognize oneself in, easy to live into?

What made you live into the action (or not)? The environmental depictions, the characters, the plot?

DO NOT USE THE WORD BORING – use the thesaurus and find other words instead.

Words that can describe the experience: gripping, believable, surprising, funny, nasty, slow. Does the author deliberately provoke?

Does the book work as a whole? Do the beginning, the end and the middle fit together? Do the language and the characters match the plot?

ORIGINALITY:

Is it similar to other books you have read or heard of, is it creative and imaginative or is it clichéd?

After Twilight , it became very popular with books / movies about vampires and werewolves. Is this book part of a trend?

CREDIBILITY:

Is the story probable or is it not realistic what is happening? Also think about grades and environment.
